Educational information only, not medical advice, and no doctor-patient relationship is created by using this page. Sodium targets that suit a healthy heavy sweater are wrong for many people. If you have high blood pressure, heart failure, kidney disease, liver disease, or you take a diuretic, lithium, or an SSRI, your fluid and salt targets come from your own Doctor. Overdrinking plain water can cause dangerously low blood sodium: headache, vomiting, confusion, puffiness or seizure after heavy fluid intake is a medical emergency, call 911. From The Doctor Teacher.
